Hi, I’m Lindsay Yoo!
I am a 5th Grade Teacher in Louisville, KY where I live with my amazing husband and our dog, Louie! I have wanted to be a teacher since Kindergarten, so I am literally living out my dream come true every day! Now, teaching doesn’t always feel like a dream come true, and that’s why I started this blog. Teachers need each other if we are to survive. I am here to be a resource to you in any way that I can! When I am not teaching, grading, or planning, you can find me playing games with friends, enjoying intentional conversations over a good cup of coffee or tea, watching Korean Dramas, listening to music, or finding an adventure outside.
